Рукописи Івана Дніпровського та історія Розстріляного Відродження
Manuscripts of Ivan Dniprovskyi and the History of Executed Renaissance

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with texts of Ivan Dniprovsky, a Ukrainian writer belonging to the Executed Renaissance period. As a representative of the Mykola Khvylovy’s generation, Dniprovsky was a popular writer in Kharkiv in the 1920s-1930s. Today, his name is undeservedly forgotten. The two texts by Dniprovsky considered in the article – the Literary Ribbons diary and the documentary novel Mykola Khvylovy – are valuable sources of information about that era and the artists who created a new Ukrainian culture, the majority of whom were destroyed during Stalin’s repressions. The writer’s ego-documents record not only the facts about the literary processes of that era, but also the feelings, emotions, and psychological portraits of his comrades, among whom Mykola Khvylovy, the leader of the Red Renaissance generation, occupies a prominent place. The study of the memoir heritage of Ivan Dniprovsky is an important task for the history of Ukrainian literature, biography and textology.
